DescriptionVortex-street-1.jpg |
English: This Landsat 7 image of clouds off the Chilean coast near the Juan Fernández Islands (also known as the Robinson Crusoe Islands) on September 15, 1999, shows a unique pattern called a "von Kármán vortex street." This pattern has long been studied in the laboratory, where the vortices are created by oil flowing past a cylindrical obstacle, making a string of vortices only several tens of centimeters long. Study of this classic "flow past a circular cylinder" has been very important in the understanding of laminar and turbulent fluid flow that controls a wide variety of phenomena, from the lift under an aircraft wing to Earth's weather. Here, the cylinder is replaced by Alejandro Selkirk Island.

עברית: תופעת הערבולים של פון קרמן כפי שנצפתה מעל האי Juan Fernández ליד צ'ילה. האי יוצר הפרעה לרוחות וכך נוצרת התופעה. |
